Tuscany-based designer Giuliano Mazzuoli has never made a secret of his patriotism. But with his latest creation, he takes things to another level. In honour of the 75th Anniversary of the Liberation of Italy, and to support his country in these vastly difficult times, he presents the limited edition “Manometro Italia.” When Giuliano Mazzuoli joined […]
The H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Centre Seconds Concept Funky Blue was a great unboxing experience… Some watches just make a strong first impression. Naturally, there is this deep, intriguing blue dial bereft of any markings, without logo or indices. But there is much more to this very conceptual watch than what you see initially. […]
In the light of the current situation and the cancellation of Baselworld 2020, Louis Moinet organized a digital presentation of its historical and creative values from its Saint-Blaise facility near Neuchatel. As a neighbour, I paid Jean-Marie Schaller (the brand CEO and creative director) and his team a visit. This was the opportunity to discover […]
I have always been fascinated by people capable of reinventing themselves. Talent can morph into the most unexpected directions. If you are into music, you are probably familiar with Anthrax, one of the most successful groups of the heavy metal scene.

Fly under the radar. This could be the motto of the first generation MIH Watch that was developed by none other than Ludwig Oechslin and Paul Gerber. Christian Gafner, an industrial designer who never before designed a watch, has to be credited for the ‘fly-under-the-radar’ design that goes together so well with what’s under the ‘hood’. The MIH Watch served as a fundraiser for the Musée International d’Horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, where Ludwig Oechslin was the conservator and was sold in a newspaper!
The De Bethune DB28 is the perfect incarnation of the brand’s watchmaking ethos – space-age design, innovative watchmaking brought to life by sharp and creative craftsmanship, yet with traditional Haute Horlogerie execution. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of this icon of the indie watchmaking scene, De Bethune introduces a set of three new […]

Since then, the independent Finnish watchmaker has shaped a truly personal creative universe. Stepan designs and crafts watches like no other. Because the current situation does not allow us to fly to Helsinki and meet Stepan in […]
